Tune In November 10: Community Support for Cybersecurity Protection and Response

Created by Peggy Kurkowski (EDUCAUSE) on November 4, 2008

As with many institutional endeavors, successful practice in cybersecurity requires that the players (individuals and teams) operate in the context of a community that faces similar challenges, objectives, and goals. Several community-based organizations support higher education and research institutions in their cybersecurity endeavors.

The EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Security Task Force coordinates community work in the areas of governance, policy, data privacy and security, effective practice, awareness, and professional development. As an independent organization aligned closely with EDUCAUSE and Internet2, the REN-ISAC has primary focus on supporting situational awareness and operational protection and response, through the sharing of actionable information.

In this free November 10 EDUCAUSE Live! Web Seminar, REN-ISAC: Community Support for Cybersecurity Protection and Response, presenter Doug Pearson, technical director, REN-ISAC, Indiana University, will highlight the value of institutional participation in security communities and describe in detail the REN-ISAC organization and community.

Those unable to attend may wish to visit the archives after the event or browse related EDUCAUSE resources on Cybersecurity, Incident Handling and Response, ISAC, Security Awareness, and Security Management.
